This course will teach you how to solo like SRV in the song Voodoo Child (slight return), at three different skill levels.

Overview

SRV’s cover of Voodoo Child (slight return) is awesome, and if you don’t think so, you can stop reading now.

If you’re like me, this song has been the source of more than few frustrating moments. Parts of it aren’t that hard, but other sections are just impossible.

I created the Slight Return lessons to share what I’ve learned from this song over the past 18 years. I’ve taken the major themes that Stevie used when he played it, and distilled it into three different solos - beginner, intermediate, and advanced. These lessons will allow you to start working on this style of soloing, no matter what skill level you’re at.

The videos in this course are shot from the over-the-shoulder perspective that you'd use if you were trying to watch what someone was playing. This view allows you to take what you see and more easily translate it to your own guitar neck.

Our Progression Counter shows you exactly where you are in the chord progression during each lick of the solo. It also shows you which beat the licks start and end on. This incredibly useful tool is shown in each solo demonstration of this course.
